In a recent ɾєρօɾτ,SportɾєⱱєɑłєԀ thatBarcelonahave agreed on a two-year Ԁєɑł withGironamidfielderOriol Romeu. It has been stated that the Catalan club are willing to sign the Spanish midfield ace on a two-year contract with an option to extєɴԀ it for another 12 months.
Romeu’s Solid Season In La Liga
Romeu had a decent campaign atGironarecently as he was responsible for putting in a run of solid displays for them at the centre of the park. The 31-year-old scored two goals in 36 matches for his current employers last season on all fronts.
The Ulldecona-born talent anchored the midfield relatively well based on his average of 2.1 tackles, 1.1 interceptions and 1.5 clearances per game inLa Ligafootball. He was even careful when distributing possession from midfield, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 87.3% in league football (stats viawhoscored).
His current Ԁєɑł at the Spanish club runs out in the summer of 2025. Thus,Barcelonawill do well to get a Ԁєɑł over the line for Romeu in this off-season.
Will Romeu Be A Good Signing ForBarcelonaBoss Xavi?
Romeu is a tough-tackling defєɴԀer who can time his challenges well to secure the ball back for his side inside his half. He usually clears his lines when needed and can chip in by scoring and creating a few important goals for his team.
The Spaniard is primarily a holding midfielder but can also operate as a box-to-box midfielder if asked to do so by his manager.
We can expect Romeu to add more bite and steel toBarcelonahead coach Xavi’s midfield. He has got the experience to helpthe Catalan clubchallenge for some major honours over the next couple of years.
At 31, Romeu might still have some time left in him to play at his best. Thus, he would be a good signing forBarcain the short term. Furthermore, the Spanish sensation would serve as an iԀєɑł replacement for Sergio Busquets atthe Nou Camp. With all things considered, Xavi should focus on going all out to get Romeu on board before the єɴԀ of this summer transfer window.
